Greetings on Uncle Sam Day! Savant's new reviews today are

City for Conquest  Warners
and
The Keys of the Kingdom  Fox

Hello again ... happy 4th of July. Took it easy this weekend and only have two reviews, but also turned a couple in to TCM as well. City for Conquest is a mystery that bugged me for 30 years, so it's nice to see it partially solved now -- with Warners' new uncut disc we at least know what the excised scenes were. Next time up I'll have a review for Grand Prix, which works very well on the new DVD. The Film Noir 3 and Tough Guy sets are on the way, but I'm hoping to hit a lot of independent and oddball titles in the next month as well.

Looking ahead, we have a Special Ed of Some Like it Hot, Koko: A Talking Gorilla, V for Vendetta, Putney Swope, Blade Runner and boxes for James Stewart, Jayne Mansfield, Ronald Reagan, Clark Gable and Eric Rohmer. And August winds up with Double Indemnity and This Island Earth. Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
